Ultimately, this what I believe the Establishment & Media (but I repeat myself) was really trying to accomplish all along.

Their ideal, "wet dream" goal was to somehow drag Hillary across the finish line, but, barring that, they wanted to make sure that they could blunt a Trump landslide as much as humanly possible.

And, even though their power is rapidly waning, I believe that these scumbags, who profoundly betrayed the American People, were able to accomplish that.

Thankfully, to my mind, the important thing was that Donald Trump was still able to win.

Now, President Trump and the People are going to set some things aright...

You are not factoring in the Globalist were tried to steal this election.

There were 3.5 million illegal votes and 4 million dead votes all for Hillary.

So subtract 7.5 million from Hillary and Trump wins the popular vote by 5 million people.

That’s AFTER the rig for Hillary.

If you look at the rallies Hillary was averaging about 100 people per rally while Trump was averaging 20 thousand, and many thousands more were turned away.

There was clearly a landslide for Trump. That’s why Hillary was unable to steal it. The Globalist tried, but the landslide was so massive they could not stop it.

Does you list take into account the first generation of fully indoctrinated leftist youth or the failure of Jimmy Carter together with the positive impacts of our bicentennial on Americanism which ushered in Reagan.

You list lacks context and is therefore data which without interpretation misleading at best.

Thank you for making the same point. 45th out of 54 and 9th out of the last 12 does not constitute a “landslide.” To use that term is silly and does not square with the facts.
